Slight changes to the commit message:
Up until now, pkr_mask had 0 bits for supervisor pages (the U/S bit in
page tables replaces the PFEC.RSVD in page fault error code).
For PKS support, fill in the bits using the same algorithm used for
user mode pages, but with CR4.PKE replaced by CR4.PKS. Because of
this change, CR4.PKS must also be included in the MMU role.
